Setup Guide
1. Unboxing and Initial Inspection
Carefully remove the headset and its components from the packaging. Verify that all items, including the protective case, are present and undamaged. Inspect the headset for any visible signs of damage before proceeding.
2. Battery Installation
The DC PRO-X2 requires two (2) AA batteries for operation. Locate the battery compartment, typically on the control module. Open the compartment, insert the batteries according to the polarity indicators, and securely close the cover.
3. Adjusting the Headset
Adjust the headband to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. The supra-aural design with plush leatherette ear seals and head pad, supported by a magnesium alloy suspension, is designed for extended comfort. Position the ear cups so they sit comfortably on your ears, providing optimal noise isolation.
